Many people ask me how I make my printables.
My answer is: one layer at a time…
This is how you work with Photoshop.
You start thinking in layers.
I try to come up with shapes and styles and then, by trial and error, I create these on photoshop with the shape tools and all the masks and filters Photoshop has to offer.
Then I add other layers with lines, graph paper, patterns and brushes…
Today I wanted to share how I make one of these brushes I am talking about – a doily brush.
The same technique works with any other flat object. Lace trimmings? Why, yes!
So, without further ado:
I hope it was helpful and that you’ve enjoyed my tutorial.

You are very welcome. Don’t worry about it, just open a new document and start playing. You’ll get the hang of it pretty quickly 🙂
Hi Avital,
I wish I had Photoshop to do stuff like you do. Making the doily brush was really neat and seems rather easy! Maybe for my birthday I can get Photoshop. Until then, I certainly enjoy the projects you make!
Thanks for sharing!
